Only three hours after a missing person alert was issued for a 50-year old autistic man who failed to return home from a bike ride, search and rescue team members found him alive and well and in good spirits.

Redmond Police said Stanley Lee, 50, who reportedly has the mental capacity of a child, was last seen riding his bicycle on the Canyon Bike Trail near the Maple Bridge Area.

Lee was located by Deschutes County Search and Rescue between Prineville and Madras on the Madras Highway at 8:22 p.m. on Monday, Captain Gary DeKorte said.

“Stanley is in excellent condition, good spirits, and is on his way to be reunited with his family,” DeKorte wrote in a news release issued when the man was located.
